Most Popular Names for Kitten

1. Bella
It should come as no surprise that the number-one female cat name has Twilight mania to thank for its popularity. And it's not just animals who have been influenced by Bella Swan's lady vampire - Bella is also one of the top names for human baby girls.

Max
This name may be simple to spell and say, but it's perfect for your regal and adventurous kitten. And if your tiny cat is truly a wild thing, it accurately brings to mind the title character in Maurice Sendak's classic Where the Wild Things Are.

2. Lucy
This iconic human name - think Charlie Brown's Lucy and the much-loved I Love Lucy - has finally worked its way into the animal world.

Oliver
Disney's 1988 animated film Oliver & Company stars a tiny orange kitten named (what else?) Oliver, who joins a gang of streetwise canines in New York City.

3. Kitty
